Be righteous now so that you may deserve Paradise/ prepare yourself in the vestibule to enter the parlour

In the question: Prepare yourself in this world so that you will be seen to be gathered in the world to come. Conduct yourself in a way that will merit you in the life of the world (the vestibule is a metaphor for this world and the parlor is a metaphor for the world to come. A parlor means a large hall or chamber).

("Rabbi Yaakov Omer says, "This world is like a vestibule before the world to come. Establish yourself in the vestibule so that you may gather for the tabernacle" - Avot 4:16-17, and so: "Our Rabbi saw it and said, 'Yes, yes.' If the vestibule is clean, the tabernacle will not be destroyed" - Agnon/Ir v'Mlo'a, 457)
